Northwest of Bangui, on the paved road that leads to Bouar, are the famous Boali Falls (Chutes de Boali). After crossing the hydroelectric dam which supplies the capital with electricity, the Mbali river springs up to about fifty meters in height, in a few dips that extend over more than 250 m in width. Spectacular and refreshing for a Sunday picnic. In the dry season, you reach the bottom of the falls by a concrete staircase, long and steep. At the bottom, the water pressure has carved out small natural pools where it is possible to soak, if the ambient droplets – due to the shattering of the falls on the rocks – have not already watered you enough!

It is possible to go up the river by following it. About fifty meters higher, a monkey bridge suspended by three cables crosses the muddy waters of the Mbali. The locals call it the “liana bridge”, but there is nothing wooden here, except a few flickering wooden planks. On the other side of the shore, we walk in a landscape of wooded savannah, and the panorama is just as magnificent, the gaze directly overlooking the falls, with a panoramic view of the valley.

We will leave Bangui in the morning and then visit the falls, followed by a visit to the Crocodile Lake where we will watch the feeding of crocodiles. We will have a nice lunch near the waterfall and explore the area around it. We will be back in Bangui in the late afternoon.
